Buck Knives - Reviews and experiences

So I got myself a Buck 303 Cadet recently and I gotta say, I was pretty let down by the quality of it. The main blade was all rough, the springs weren't even and felt rough too, the spring tension was too soft, and the sheepsfoot blade had a round tip. And to top it all off, the rosewood slabs had four flat spots right by the bolsters that were supposed to be rounded. On top of all that, the knife started rusting and getting pits at the base of the springs pretty easily, even though I barely used it. I had to spend a bunch of time fixing it up and polishing it to give it as a gift to my son.

I've loved these knives for so long, ever since I got my hands on my first one when I was just a kid. They're just top-notch quality and so reliable. I actually got one for my son not too long ago, and he's totally obsessed with it, just like I thought he would be. These knives have never let me down and they just keep on impressing me every time I use them.
